title: Na(+)-glucose cotransporter inhibitors as antidiabetic agents. II. Synthesis and structure-activity relationships of 4'-dehydroxyphlorizin derivatives.
abstract: A novel series of 4'-dehydroxyphlorizin derivatives was synthesized and the effects of these compounds on urinary glucose excretion were evaluated in rats. There was a strict structural requirement for activity. Introduction of a small substituent or a flat ring at the 3- and/or the 4-position on the A ring was permissible, but any change at the bridge part between the A and B rings or in the sugar moiety resulted in complete loss of activity. The 6'-OH group on the B ring was also necessary, and even small structural modifications of the 6'-OH group reduced the activity considerably. Among the compounds synthesized, the 5-benzofuryl derivative 25 was the most potent and was selected as a new lead for further structure-activity relationship investigations.
